WOODCLIFF LAKE, NJ – February 20, 2014 — /BackupReview.info/ — Catalogic Software™, innovator of Intelligent Data Protection Management™ solutions, today announced its support for the new NetApp FAS8000 unified scale-out storage systems, new NetApp FlexArray virtualization software, and the latest release of clustered Data ONTAP to help joint customers accelerate their move from legacy to cloud environments. Catalogic Software’s technology will complement NetApp’s new solutions to consolidate storage hardware and data protection on a common modern infrastructure, and further expand performance and manageability in customers’ on-premise and cloud deployments.

“CIOs are faced with the challenge of safeguarding their data while maximizing their infrastructure investments,” said Robert Amatruda, research director for data protection and recovery at IDC. “The partnership between Catalogic Software and NetApp helps CIOs to meet both challenges by bringing an embedded layer of data protection to their public, private or hybrid cloud storage infrastructure.”

Catalogic Software brings forward more than 16 years of product innovations and has over 1000 midsize and large enterprise customers worldwide using its Catalogic DPX data protection and ECX catalog management solutions. Catalogic Software is built on NetApp’s storage as part of the NSB solution and now supports the NetApp FAS8000 series.

The new NetApp® FAS8000 series is the first enterprise storage system to unify SAN, NAS and storage virtualization into a single hybrid array. It is NetApp’s first FAS platform designed specifically for scale-out storage environments built on clustered Data ONTAP. With NetApp’s new FlexArray virtualization software, NetApp V-Series functionality becomes a software option that can be licensed on the FAS8000.

“As customers adapt their IT operations to improve service delivery and embrace cloud mandates, they recognize the advantages of shared storage infrastructures,” said Mark Welke, senior director, product marketing, NetApp. “Our new FAS8000 series combined with Catalogic’s software enables customers to respond quickly to changing business needs help and eliminate the overprovisioning of people, time, and money.”
